How do I know the Incoming / Outgoing mail settings?

Your email details are available under "Email > Accounts" in your cPanel.

You will see the option "Set Up Mail Client" in-line with each email address you have created:
Email Setup Client

You can either use the Auto-Configuration scripts that will create the accounts automatically for the most common email clients such as Microsoft Outlook or Apple Mail app for IMAP or POP3:
Email Auto Configure



The Manual Settings are recommend when the automatic installation fails or is not supported by your email client. This screen looks like this:
Email Manual Settings

These are the most important settings:

  • The username / email account (usually is user@yourdomain.com)
  • Incoming / Outgoing server are the same (usually mail.yourdomain.com)
  • IMAP port (default is set to 143)
  • POP3 port (default is set to 110)
  • SMTP port (default is set to 26 or 25)
NOTE 1: Authentication is required for IMAP, POP3, and SMTP.
NOTE 2: The settings above main be different from your own server. Please check your control panel settings to find the right settings.

The Secure Settings can be configured to use SSL/TLS with the following default settings:
  • Incoming / Outgoing server are the same (usually mail.hostname.com)
  • IMAP port (default is set to 993)
